Lyrics of La Lune et le miel - Lynda Lemay

La Lune et le miel (original)

T’avais peut-Єtre quatorze ans
T’avais encore la tЄte velue
T’avais des clґtures plein les dents
La premire fois que je t’ai vu
Tu jouais encore avec ta fronde
Je jouais encore la marelle
Quand on s’est promis mer et monde
Et puis la lune et puis le miel
Tu as (c)t© mon premier homme et moi, ta premire pucelle
Et c’est sur la banquette arrire
De la voiture de ton pre
Que j’priais Dieu pour qu’y m’pardonne d'Єtre d (c)j en train de faire
Ce qui, pour moi, ne pouvait Єtre
Que de l’amour (c)ternel
T'(c)tais peut-Єtre en train de jouir
Ou peut-Єtre en train de muer
Quand tu m’as dit: ‡a fait plaisir
D’savoir que l’on est le premier
Un peu jaloux, un peu conscient
Qu’aimer toujours, § a dure longtemps
Surtout quand on a quatorze ans
Et qu’on a toute la vie devant
T’avais le crўne d (c)garni quand je t’ai vu y a quelques jours
T’es d (c)m (c)nag© prs d’ici
T’as des clґtures dans ta cour
Tu jouais encore comme un gamin faire le tour de ta maison
Ђ faire le tour de ton jardin
Sur un p’tit tracteur gazon
T’avais peut-Єtre 34 ans
Et encore une bonne dose de charme
T’avais la garde de tes enfants
Mais t’avais pas gard© ta femme
Moi, j'(c)tais plus ronde et plus blonde
Sans aucun doute, un peu moins belle
J’n’avais connu ni mer ni monde
Et ni la lune et ni le miel
J'(c)tais l, devant ta demeure, plant (c)e comme un grand tournesol
T’es descendu d’ton petit tracteur
Tout en sueur, en camisole
Tu m’as fait le c"ur tout crisp© et le visage tout (c)carlate
Quand ton sourire m’a d (c)voil© Ta belle rang (c)e de dents droites
On est sorti de nos trentaines
On a rechauss© notre jeunesse
Dans une voiture qui (c)tait la tienne
On s’est aim© toute vitesse
T'(c)tais peut-Єtre en train de jouir
Ou peut-Єtre en train de pleurer
Quand tu m’as dit: ‡a ferait plaisir
D’savoir que je serais le dernier

(translation)

You were maybe fourteen
You still had a hairy head
You had fences full of teeth
The first time I saw you
You were still playing with your slingshot
I was still playing hopscotch
When we promised sea and world
And then the moon and then the honey
You were my first man and I was your first maid
And it's in the back seat
From your father's car
That I prayed to God to forgive me for being d (c)j doing
What for me could not be
Only (c)ternal love
You (c)was maybe cumming
Or maybe shedding
When you told me: ‡it's nice
To know that we are the first
A little jealous, a little aware
That loving always, § a lasts a long time
Especially when you're fourteen
And we have our whole life ahead
You had a full head when I saw you a few days ago
You're d (c)m (c)nag© near here
You have fences in your yard
You were still playing like a kid going around your house
To walk around your garden
On a little lawn tractor
You were maybe 34 years old
And still a good dose of charm
You had custody of your children
But you didn't keep your wife
Me, I was rounder and blonder
Definitely a little less beautiful
I had known neither sea nor world
And neither the moon nor the honey
I was there, in front of your house, planting like a big sunflower
You got off your little tractor
All sweaty, in a straitjacket
You made my heart all tense and my face all (c)scarlet
When your smile has d (c)ve © Your beautiful row (c)e of straight teeth
We're out of our thirties
We lifted up our youth
In a car that was yours
We fell in love fast
You (c)was maybe cumming
Or maybe crying
When you told me: ‡it would be nice
To know that I would be the last
